Biography
  • Leonard Compere Cushee is believed to have been a close relation of Richard Cushee (1696-c.1734), globe maker, surveyor, and publisher. Leonard Cushee was apprenticed to Nathaniel Hill in 1751 who in turn had apprenticed with Richard Cushee. Leonard continued to make pocket globes until about 1760.
Notes
  • Pocket-sized terrestrial globe mounted in mahogany stand. This sphere consists of two hemispheres of paper mache joined at the equator with a wooden rod within aligned with the polar axis. The orb was then coated with plaster to which 12 gores are fixed. There are two polar calottes at latitude 70 degrees. Gores are copper engraved, hand-colored and varnished with pivot holes at both poles. The North Pole and South Poles are labeled and extensive trade winds are noted in ocean areas. Northwest Canada and America are labelled Unknown Parts but California is no longer shown as an island. Alaska is indicated with a long slender island. Australia is labelled 'New Holland' and 'Lewin' [i.e. in the region of Perth] according to Dutch discoveries but the eastern coastline is still ill defined with Diemans Land [i.e. Tasmania] joined to the mainland. Note that the unexplored east coast is represented in the typical fashion of this period as joined to New Guinea by an extended land mass labelled Carpentaria. N. Zeeland is also shown. The oceans are named The Great South Sea, Western Ocean, The Atlantic Ocean, Southern Ocean, Indian Sea, The Eastern or Indian Sea and Ice Sea.
